If we could get the votes for that, I'd be all for it. Unfortunately Democrats are divided and we can't get you unanimity on anything, except maybe the Epstein files.
I LOVE good news Sunday! A few of these made me cry . . . happy tears! Thank you, Aaron, you bring both sanity and goodness to all of us, when so many others are just vile. β€οΈ
Aaron, that opening is the marrow. The heartbeat under the headlines.
In a world drowning in rage-bait and distraction, youβre saying: stop. Look here. Hope exists. Courage exists. Survivors exist, and their stories will not be silenced. That is not soft newsβitβs insurgent truth.
The powerful count on fatigue, on people tuning out. Youβre refusing their script. Youβre not just dropping good news candy between horrors, youβre welding together a community that insists on listening, insists on remembering, insists on standing with those empire wants erased.
Thatβs why this Substack is number one. Not because of algorithms, but because youβve made hope itself into resistance.
I love hearing stories about people helping to feed the homeless. No one in this country should have to eat from a dumpster. It's shameful that we let this happen, especially since many of them are veterans.
That's the thing about so much of Aaron's good news, given the state of this government, it's so easy to fall back into the shadowy corners of negativity, "well they'll do THIS to stop THAT from working unless they can profit," & "they won't let THIS happen" and "they won't let THAT in, or THEM in..." insert deep sigh here. It has become far too difficult stay positive! (Sunday dad-joke: "Well, I'M positive things'll get worse...")

Dear friends,
If this letter surprises you, I apologize. I have been dead for seventy years, which makes correspondence difficultβthough the afterlife offers more time for reflection than Princeton ever did. From that quiet vantage, I have watched your country with a mixture of affection and alarm, and I recognize the pattern unfolding. I have seen it before, and it does not end well.
The baby hippo getting the look. I have the look. Iβm a master! Love this in todayβs world. Thanks for something to wake up to one day a week. (An obit would be nice)
Good morning Aaron, lovely to see your smiling face with our share of good news.
Thank you for your work keeping the Epstien victims in the news and got giving them a chance to share their stories and hopefully they realise so many people are supporting them.
Aaron, You know that people trust you and that, from what I'm seeing, a majority of them are females. Now I know, being a female myself, that it has a lot to do with feeling like you are their son or grandson and that you are choosing to use your intelligence for good. I can say without question that not all young men your age choose "doing good" over making a shed load of money. It's a sad admission but true. I hope that the reality in your world cannot rely on that support if you don't continue to deliver the truth and nothing but the truth. I'm saying this at this time because being reminded of your popularity because of what you do or say is important to your supporters. Don't look at fame as the be all and end all of what you are achieving. Love to you and the Mrs. As they say in that old TV show I used to watch before I gave up owning a TV "take care out there."
Well said Vee! Yes. I've "adopted" him in a way and have a very protective feeling when he's out and about. So Aaron, take care of yourself, your wife and family!
Hi Jean. I'm pleased you didn't look on my comments as unsupportive. I just felt he should understand the wealth of trust people have given him. Of course I love what he does.
I noticed the male/female balance of supporters here too. Yes, we women of all ages, have taken Aaron under our wing, because he's admired - like a peacock - in this topsy turvy, otherwise disappointing, male dominated world.
Yet, we respectfully have not become crazed out "fan girls".
We keep a level head and share insights, garner our back up support for the Parnas Perspective, and stand along side, if you will, to be strong and intelligent survivor sisters to a special younger brother, son, or grandson.
I've also noticed that many content creators on Substack have been prioritizing monetizing their platforms over contributing solid, immediate, and to the point reporting.
I think we all appreciate that Aaron doesn't do that, while he otherwise sincerely acknowledges his followers - perhaps recognizing that neither do we. We spend time contributing here gratis, for the sake of our country's future and we contribute as much as we can to further this important work.
So thank you, Aaron, for your work ethic, your inclusive outreach, and for your family's patience with all the "take care of yourself, we need you!" impositions. It's ALL a good news day here.
The power lies with us, together as one - male or female - or whatever our own personal human identifier is - and we can assuredly be grateful for that truth.
Well said Sandra. I guess I'm so jaded in my thinking, I erroneously thought he needed a reminder. Aaron my apologies if you took what I said as an insult to your very important work. It wasn't meant to be. I will always support your ability as a truth teller. With both MEIDAS and the Parnas Perspective claiming to be number one in the substack news scape, I just felt he needed a reminder. My error.
Vee, I did not take your post as a criticism of Aaron, but rather as an observation.
I think Aaron keeps a balance between whatever fame or fortune his work as a journalist brings him, while keeping his heart humble and his stated intentions true.
We surely remember the mistakes we made when we were young, and simply want to support the cut above path Aaron has chosen.
I believe we all hope to protect the venue he's created here.
Thank you Aaron for everything you do, love good news Sundays

Hi parasite, how was your weekend?
When are you finally getting your own space instead of playing parasite on other substacks?
Thank you so much for sharing smile making news with us.
Great news! Thank you, Aaron.
Democrats should be demanding the Epstein files as the price for keeping the government open.
Now THAT is an excellent piece of advice!
How can you and others pass that on to our representatives?
How about stop fueling genocide or shut down government?
If we could get the votes for that, I'd be all for it. Unfortunately Democrats are divided and we can't get you unanimity on anything, except maybe the Epstein files.
unanimity; I think your spell-check made a mistake. :)
Thanks. Fixed it.
Good idea!
Thank you! Hopefully everyone can have a good day today. ππ π
Thanks Arron for your good news reporting! Thatβs also important during these tough days.
I LOVE good news Sunday! A few of these made me cry . . . happy tears! Thank you, Aaron, you bring both sanity and goodness to all of us, when so many others are just vile. β€οΈ
Oh god I needed this thank you!! π
Thank you for sharing this good news Aaron! We so need it

Absolutely!! Well said! Thank you both!!

Wow, that's powerful.
The baby hippo getting the look. I have the look. Iβm a master! Love this in todayβs world. Thanks for something to wake up to one day a week. (An obit would be nice)
I think all mothers know that look. π
Do you mean what I think you mean about the obit? π
Thank you Aaron !!!
